HOBBY: Painting BIG Glowing Effects

Painting glowing effects on large areas is a little different from small areas like eyes. Here is a video on how to do this.

Glowing effects can be achieved in many ways. Most of the tutorials and how-to’s concentrate on small scales, since this is where they are used a lot. When creating effects on big guns or large areas, a little ingenuity is needed to create a smooth effect and transition.

Here is a video detailing how I achieved the effect on a Reaver Titan’s weapon:
